~~<p>Question: Our neighborhood in Kalihi has been overrun with excessively noisy motor scooters zooming at all hours, up and down the street. A house up the street has cars coming and going at all hours. A van with no tires sits on the street in front of the house. There are more strangers walking around. Is there anything the police can do at this point? Or does an incident have to happen before they can get involved? How do we start a Neighborhood Security Watch program?</p>
